Dream of wheels

As long as I remember cars has always been one of my favourite things. I was a tomboy who preferred toy cars to dolls. When it was time to take a driver’s license at 18, I went through the first stage of it. But when I drove in traffic I realised I couldn’t do it. There was too much pressure. If you’re nervous about something you shouldn’t do it. I was even scared to drive. So my dreams of wheels were long gone. I still know how to drive but so far I haven’t even needed a car. There are times when you need a car but there’s too many of them on the road. My mother went through her life without needing one so you can live without one. My father has a driver’s license so there hasn’t been a need to get one.

Even though I don’t have driver’s license, I still have that dream car. I just need a driver. When you look for a job, a car is always necessary so I’ve lost a lot of chances because of that. Especially if you want to be a photographer a car seems to be a requirement. Sometimes it would be nice to have a driver’s license. I’m not a fan of public transport. You always have to share with other people and there are the schedules you have to think about. With your own car, you can go wherever you want. But then you think about how much it costs to have one, you rather be without. You also have to think about the environment. It’s much better to go by bike or public transport. Luckily I live in a city where places are close by and the local traffic is great.

When I see my dream car somewhere, I think I could get a driver’s license just to get that. But my dream car is too expensive. Only if I win the lottery but that won’t happen since I don’t spend my money on that.

If I had a car, it wouldn’t have to be anything fancy. Wheels that are good for the environment and it works like a charm, that’s all it needs. Dreams are dreams and the reality is a reality. Females who choose men from what kind of car they drive should have their head examined. I wouldn’t even care if the guy didn’t have a car. If I want to go somewhere I’ll always find a way and if I don’t then I’m not going at all. I’ll only get a driver’s license if they decide to quit public transports altogether. That will never happen and that’s a fact. As long as there are people without cars, there’s always gonna be a need for it.

The illusion of introverts

Mia1 Comment

only illusionSome people have the illusion that introverts are quiet and they don’t like people. As a matter of fact, both introverts and extrovert do like to talk but introverts choose when to open their mouths. Someone who keeps talking is stressful. For example, yesterday when I went by bus to celebrate Midsummer Eve, there was this young woman who kept talking to her friend. The whole trip she kept talking. I thought, does she ever shut up? Not a silent moment from her. How can someone have so many thoughts coming out of their mouth is beyond me. Even if I know a person, it still feels awkward to know what to say. What’s wrong with being quiet? You don’t have to keep talking all the time. Silence should be appreciated.

Think before you speak is much better than someone who keeps saying what comes out of their mouths. A study says that quiet people are smarter and it might be true. At least when it comes to talking nonsense. When you think first before you speak, you don’t hurt someone feelings on purpose. Online it’s easier to say what you think but even then you should think first. If you’re angry, you should calm down first because when you are, you can say things you can regret later. Being rude is not cool.

I don’t like wasting my time with talking whatever comes to mind. Introverts like to think before speaking. If there’s a subject I know something about, it’s obvious I will talk more. If people keep saying why I’m quiet, they don’t really know me. I could get angry at them and yell in frustration, “I am not quiet so stop saying that” But I won’t since I think about their feelings too. If they want me to talk then they will regret it because when I talk about a subject I like, I’ll never shut up. Subjects I don’t care about bores me. No one likes someone who talks about something they’ve never experienced or have no idea about. That’s one of my pet peeves. Before talking about something, you should get your fact right first.

Never have an illusion that an introvert doesn’t like talking. You should get to know one first before saying how quiet they are. First impressions can be deceiving. I think that’s been one of the reasons why people never want to get to know me. I never give a good first impression. It really bugs me when people think I’m quiet and they see that straight away. It doesn’t really matter what people think. I could have got sensitive about it when I was younger. But now I wouldn’t care less. I don’t know how much you need to talk before not being called quiet. I’m not presenting anything. If I give short answers that should be enough. It’s not really my fault if people don’t get the idea. There’s too much talking in the world anyway so without the quiet people, there would be no piece anywhere.
